Our take on ANCIENT RUS VS LIZARDS

Instead of building toward a long campaign with a fixed protagonist, the game opens all four heroes and three levels immediately. Its structure centers on repeating a direct objective—defeat every lizard—across a small set of battlefields, with bonfires providing save points.

What is ANCIENT RUS VS LIZARDS?

This action game casts players as one of four ancient Slavic heroes defending the cities of Baikalsk and Hyperborea from humanoid lizard hordes.

It includes three selectable locations: Baikalsk, Hyperborea, and dark dungeons serving as a hidden refuge. Any hero and level can be chosen from the start. Each stage is completed by defeating every lizard in the area. Combat follows a Souls-like model, with different weapons assigned to the four heroes. Bonfires provide places to rest and save progress, while Baikal water restores vitality when health is running low. The game presents its battlefields and characters in 3D.
